Anadolu Group is to debut a new yachting brand with the launch of Aiata’s Wayfinder 38 at boot Düsseldorf 2025.
The brand plans to release a series of models over the coming years, as part of the long-term investment Anadolu Group has committed to the project.
The outboard walkaround Wayfinder 38 is the first model from Anadolu Group, which operates in 20 countries and eight different industries through more than 80 companies.
The craft are designed by Jarkko Jamsen, co-founder of the Scandinavian based Navia Design agency.
The Wayfinder 38 is a minimalist 38ft walkaround designed for a broad audience of yacht enthusiasts with different configuration options.
Aiata will present the Wayfinder 38 in three variations: Cabin, Open, and a Fishing configuration derived from the other two models.
Three variations
The Cabin version includes a wheelhouse layout with an L-shaped salon, integrated galley, Webasto sunroof, and air conditioning system.
Features include teak furniture, a queen-size bed, an enclosed bathroom, and two-meter high ceilings.
The wheelhouse incorporates a lift-up mechanism connecting the interior and cockpit. The bow area features a U-shaped sofa with a hi-low table.
The Open model is designed for a more outdoor experience and features a suntop and a continuous salon layout intended to create a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces.
A Fishing configuration is also available, applicable to both Cabin and Open models. It includes a foredeck sunbed, making it suitable for day cruises, watersports, or fishing activities.
The Wayfinder 38 offers outboard engine options ranging from 300 to 425hp.
It is guaranteed that the brand will become a benchmark in yachting.
